South Korea and the United States have negotiated the release of over 300 illegal South Korean workers who were swept up in a massive Hyundai factory raid in Georgia last week.
475 workers were arrested for being in the U.S. illegally or violating terms of their immigrant visas. The majority of the illegal workers arrested were South Korean, The Gateway Pundit reported.
UPDATE: South Koreans Are Majority of the 475 Illegal Alien Workers Arrested in ICE Raid at Hyundai Battery Plant Construction Site in Georgia
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released video footage from the operation over the weekend, showing a large caravan moving in on the plant, lining the illegals up, chasing down attempted escapees, and loading them all onto immigration busses to be detained.

The factory was previously touted by Joe Biden as an economic win after he announced the opening of the plant during a 2022 trip to South Korea.
“Hyundai’s commitment to invest more than $5 billion and create more than 8,000 jobs making electric vehicles and batteries will help boost the entire community around Bryan County with good jobs people can raise a family on, and ultimately help lower costs for the American people,” Biden said in a 2022 press release. However, he failed to mention that these jobs would be given to noncitizens and illegal aliens.
Now, South Korea has agreed to send a plane to facilitate the return of the illegals to their country.
Per the New York Post:
Presidential chief of staff Kang Hoon-sik said that South Korea and the U.S. had finalized negotiations on the workers’ release.
He said South Korea plans to send a charter plane to bring the workers home as soon as remaining administrative steps are completed.

Most of the people detained were taken to an immigration detention center in Folkston, Georgia, near the Florida state line.
None has been charged with any crimes yet, Steven Schrank, the lead Georgia agent of Homeland Security Investigations, said during a news conference Friday, adding that the investigation is ongoing.
